[The Whiting Society passes its time]
The Whiting Society passes its timeIn guessing at certain conundrums in rhyme,
The Author of which, still brisk and vivacious,
Just lives round the corner: “Consult him? Good gracious!
Was ever proposal so wild, so audacious!”
—“You know him and chat with him”—“True: but, my friend,
If he tells us his meaning our game's at an end.”
